That is a good question. At the start of the war, Germany and Japan had more airplanes that US or Britain or France and many of them were better. The reason was that the US and Britain were not spending as much on new technology development or new airplane designs before the war. Most countries were just coming out of the Great Depression and could not afford to spend much on development. On the otherhand, Germany was building more and more.
After a few years into the war, the Allies manufacturing caught up with the Germans. They put more resources to designing new airplanes and engines. The Germans had some great engineers and designers but many were distracted with new designs of Hitler's "wonder weapons" that was going to end the war.
For example, the best German fighter aircraft was the Me-109 and Fw-190. As the Allied aircraft designs improved, the Germans tried to enhance these with later models. The radial engine of the Fw-190 had limitations and they could not make it produce more horse power. The Fw-190 Model D had to resort to an in-line engine. The Me-109 was improved by the F model but as it was enhanced with more armament with the G model, its performance could not keep up with the new Allied aircraft such as the P-51D.
Regarding Bombers, the Germans wanted fast bombers in the beginning of the war and neglected any 4-engine strategic bomber design. The Allies already had the B-17 designed and it went through several improvements. This left the Luftwaffe with a significant disadvantage in the long-range strike capability.
One last theory that I have is that German engineering design machines with too close tolerances. This means that it requires that maticulate adjustment and tunning that was difficult to repair in the field. There is a big difference between overhauling a Mercedes car engine and a Chevy engine.

How does etching reveal the crystal structure of metal?
Cristal are fundamentally anisotropic. They are geometrically organized in planes that are denser than other direction. When acid etch a crystal, it began where it's easier, by the planes directions where the atoms are the most distant from each other. This process highlight's the crystal planes.
What kind of simple machine is a ramp?
inclined plainA ramp is an example of an inclined plane(:A ramp is an inclined planeincline planeA ramp belongs under the simple machine category of inclined planes. Inclined planes are sloping or slanting in figure which allows less effort to be exerted or applied, making work easier. The ramp has one end raised up to help raise an object, rather pushing a certain object than lifting it. Other examples of inclined planes other than the ramp are the stairs. When two inclined planes are put back to back, another simple machine called the wedge.

What does zero meant during World War 2?
The Zero was a type of Japanese fighter plane, the Mitsubishi A6-M. It was fast and nimble, and heavily armed. At the start of the war it was better than the fighter planes the Allies had.

Whats the significance of the producion miracle?
Warship to warship, airplane to airplane, army to army; the Germans and Japanese were better than their allied opponents. They were geared for war! The US defeated the Axis powers by out-producing them in EVERYTHING! When the Axis sank an allied warship, the US replaced it with TEN MORE! In the end, the Germans and Japanese ran out of men and equipment. The US had so much left over, they were re-cycled immediately from the factory to the scrap yards.
